The commissioner shall promulgate administrative regulations as he or she
considers necessary to carry on the work of the department and the work of the
administrative law judges and may promulgate administrative regulations not
inconsistent with this chapter and KRS Chapter 13A for carrying out the
provisions of this chapter.
The commissioner shall promulgate administrative regulations on or before
December 31, 2015, establishing the information necessary to be received to
create an e-mail notification system where a person may enter his or her e-mail
address into the Insurance Coverage Look-up database established by the
Department of Workers' Claims and be notified of any cancellation of a specific
business' workers' compensation coverage.
The commissioner shall develop or adopt life expectancy tables for use in
making computations for the apportionment of benefits under KRS 342.120,
computation of attorneys' fees under KRS 342.320, and for use in all other
situations arising under this chapter in which the calculation of a life
expectancy is necessary or desirable, including the computation of
assessments or reserves for self-insurers. The commissioner may adopt life
tables published by the United States Department of Health and Human
Services or other life tables developed by a qualified entity, as determined by
the commissioner. The life tables developed or adopted by the commissioner
through the promulgation of administrative regulations in effect as of the date of
an opinion, award, or settlement approved by an administrative law judge shall
apply to computations concerning that opinion, award, or settlement.
Processes and procedures under this chapter shall be as summary and simple
as reasonably possible. The board or any member thereof or any
administrative law judge for the purpose of this chapter, may subpoena
witnesses, administer or cause to have administered oaths, and examine or
cause to have examined those parts of the books and records of the parties to
a proceeding as relate to questions in dispute.
The sheriff shall serve all subpoenas of the board and administrative law
judges and shall receive the same fee as provided by law for like service in civil
actions. Each witness who appears in obedience to the subpoena of the board
or any administrative law judge shall receive for attendance the fees and
mileage for witnesses in civil cases in the Circuit Courts.
The Circuit Court shall, on application of the board, any member thereof, or
any administrative law judge, enforce by proper proceedings the attendance
and testimony of witnesses and the production and examination of books,
papers, and records.
